Where do you go after a failed business?

I'm on the verge of closing my business down after 5 years. Business has been my identity for my entire adult life. Now I'm in my 30s, jaded and in no mood to start another business, and don't know if I can stomach a low paid job and live paycheck to paycheck again. How do you overcome a failed business and an urge for a new career?

My side hustle has exploded and I'm unprepared.

So, I started making aftermarket car parts, first as a hobby for my own car, then taking orders after people started expressing interest in them. Within 3 days I've almost hit the $600 paypal goods and services limit, to the point where I'm now being asked to provide a tax ID, which I don't think I have. I also need to fill out a 1099-K. Until I can get this sorted out I've stopped taking payments, as I really want to avoid tax issues both now and later down the line but am really afraid to get something wrong.

Buying a business with a great reputation but zero reviews

I’m buying a roofing company that has been around for decades. They have a great reputation however the previous owner is very old school and never claimed his Google page or established an online presence (other than an outdated website). Does anyone have any creative ideas on how to jump start online reviews when I take over? He has files on thousands of past clients, I’m considering reaching out to all past clients to offer either $25 gift cards or discounts on future projects in exchange for a review. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

My small model agency is ranking under "escorts". How can I stop this?

I run the only model agency in a city although there are others in a different city. We currently rank 1 or 2 for relevant model agency search queries on Google. Recently I've noticed we're getting a lot of impressions and click on the search term "escorts in my city" and we're now raking 7th and with an ever increasing number of impressions and clicks monthly. Is there a way of stopping this? I know there's no escorts agencies in my city so most likely this escalated because people have no other options rather than click our website to see if we offer such services. This may ruin our reputation and essentially kill our business. We do all our SEO in-house, and have never used 'escort' or any iteration of that word as a keyword in our SEO and Blogs. Any ideas?

Are you required to provide a letter of termination for an employee who quit without notice of their own accord?

Long standing employee was on the schedule and then suddenly said she is quitting due to “family issues.” Which I don’t doubt but her work history prior to that was full of callouts and other issues so termination was coming up anyway but now she reached out and asked for a letter of termination - am I required to provide one in (NY) and do I just state employee just quit without notice?

Excel, QuickBooks, wave. What do you use to keep track of your business expenses?

Starting a small business, and wanted to know what people use for in extremely small scale business. One person, maybe $1,000 a year in revenue maximum. Just selling things on eBay, Etsy, Mercari. Thinking about tracking my expenses in Excel, but I know there's free software out there like Wave, and you can also use QuickBooks but again, monthly fee so why would you pay for that on such a small scale business?
